Further Information
The RSO will be responsible for the execution of a number of tasks related to ARTIAP, a project financed by the Malta Council for Science and Technology through the Fusion R&I Technology Development Programme, in which the Institute of Aerospace Technologies is the lead partner.
Automation on current transport category aircraft has evolved to the point where the pilot’s role is becoming increasingly supervisory in nature. However, this has led to pilots becoming less aware of how the automation is behaving, posing a risk to the continued safety of flight. In addition, the industry is moving towards a reduction in flight crew through the introduction of Reduced Crew Operations (RCOs) in the near-term and Single Pilot Operations (SPOs) in the long-term. This poses challenges, particularly in high workload conditions, and the support currently provided by the second pilot needs to be replaced by other means.
ARTIAP will develop technology – based on Machine Learning (ML) – to provide a replacement of the support traditionally provided by the second pilot and to also provide support to the current two-person crew in large transport aircraft. The ARTIAP technology will monitor complex operations in flight and aid the pilots in their situational awareness and decision-making by providing visual and/or aural alerts and recommendations.
Further information may be provided by contact Dr Ing. Jason Gauci at [email protected] .
The appointee will be expected to work at such places and during such hours as may be determined by the University authorities.
The selection procedure will involve:
a. scrutiny of qualifications and experience claimed and supported by testimonials and/or certificates (copies to be included with the application);
b. shortlisting; and
c. an interview and / or extended interview.
The post is for a period of up to 33 months, which will be subject to a probationary period and to the provisions of the Statutes, Regulations and Bye-Laws of the University of Malta which are now or which may hereafter be in force.
